I just went to Google and searched on "NAT Type FAILED" and it came up with lots of promising sounding hits. I didn't follow any of those however, you can do that. Lots of mention of PS3 with this error in those hits.

I do. Tons of it. Mostly Solaris.

Unfortunately, unless the OP has another computer to do those Google searches, they will be hurting without X. Web browsers pretty much depend on it. I suppose Lynx could be used as the browser, but navigation of modern websites is darn near impossible with a text-only browser like that.

It is a boot time option that you specify on each boot. The default is to run from CD. Generally you don't want to run directly from ram unless you have 1Gb (which you're covered for). 2Gb or 4Gb are plenty. I do not know what the "cheat code" (that's what boot time options are sometimes...

Nnnaaahhh... Real men don't use vipw. Direct "ed" on /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow is the way to go! ;-) Of course, given this type of "real men" work, you BETTER have that LiveCD sitting around!

There is a difference between a router and a switch. What you are probably talking about is the consumer stuff you buy at a local electronics store, which in reality is "a router integrated with a eight port switch". The router does the routing, the switch does the switching. That doesn't...

Don't think of Vista as an upgrade for users, it is an upgrade for those who wish to control what you do with music, software, movies, etc. The people who think "Hey, you paid $19 for this movie DVD, so that means I get carte blanch control over your computer to protect my content". Vista is a...

There are tons of utilities for this, but I haven't used any personally. Search google for "recover administrator password" or some variation of that. Backup the system first. Or, simply ask your boss where he was born, his wife's name, his kids names, his pets, his hobbies, his favorite...
